When I turn "Use true north" on, the compass doesn't give any readings for north. The read circle keep spinning to search its orientation.

When I turn off Use True North, it gives appx north. ie. "~275º".

the top level location services is on?

if you go to the maps app and bring up your location, does it know where you are?

I just won't use compass. I give up.

You do, um, have a Series 5, right?

If so, it's under warranty, get in touch with AppleCare and have them figure it out or fix/replace your Watch.

If not, well, ahem.

I have tried using the warranty on my AW4 before and they need to have the watch for a week.
I cannot go to work without my watch. I have other watches but they don't have the daily 12 silent alarms I use.
I never have used compass since the 1st week of buying the watch so I don't miss it.
When I get AW6, I will be able to send it away for a week in October.
